100% EXP is too much

50% exp with additional student fodder would allow for a more seamless experience.

I am questing through zones faster than I can imagine. While, yeah sure it’s great after you’ve had many alts, but that’s what the student fodder gives you as a option.

I believe any inn keeper in a major city has an option to turn it off.

What is the Student Fodder btw?

I looked it up, and it looks like it’s part of the Cozy Sleeping Bag thing that I haven’t done.

And it looks like it can be started from level 14.

:woman_shrugging:

You’re not going to convince retail players exp boosts are bad. This is now retail minus not C+.

It’s a consumable that gives you roughly 25% rested XP I think. Can’t remember the exact number.

It never was classic+. Could it eventually lead to what we’ll call classic+? Maybe. Everything we have is experimental.

I love this new goal post. We’re approaching peak cope.

Cope in what way? I’m just pointing out the obvious.

People who think this is like retail leveling haven’t played retail in over a decade. They just have no idea what they’re talking about at all.

Leveling in Dragonflight is significantly faster than SoD leveling, even with a 100% buff. Less time per level. Travel is massively faster for rapid questing and you have fast easy access to leveling dungeons without having to look for a group manually (sometimes nearly instant as a tank or healer). Hearthstones have a much lower cooldown and we have multiple hearthstones to different locations and a portal system for rapid access to many parts of the world. You get XP for gathering ore and herbs. You get XP in battlegrounds.

Exactly. Isnt the world record in retail currently like 3-4 hours? It’s not even close in SoD.

I didn’t expect to be out-leveling quests while doing basic quest zone leveling in a classic-style system but here we are.

Not entirely unhappy with it, was a little annoyed when the opposite would happen (finish a batch of quests and new ones were all a few levels above character’s level so had to run dungeons or farm mobs for a while until the quests were more palatable).

Pfft… 100% is fine and if they offered more, I’d gladly take more.

I’m ok with it. I have a nostalgia/fondness for classic, but with limited play time the massive leveling grind tends to be too much for me so I typically stick to retail. But SoD is a lot less daunting especially now.

But at the same time it is a little odd leveling so fast. Like I’m leveling an UD. Been going through Silverpine Forest. Feel like I might end up hardly even touching anything in the Barrens because I’m leveling so fast. I actually went out there to switch it up but all the quests at least to start with are so low level.

I’d much rather have it though than not.

i agree nerf it tomorrow after i hit 40 on my alt.

20% rested XP on a 30min CD it’s terrible. Should have no CD imo.

Also @OP this XP buff is the only thing SoD has, hanging on for it’s dear life. And it’s not only a Seasonal server, it’s phased in segments. So XP buff is actually perfect for SoD. If we could go 1-60 from launch, then I think the XP buff ruins the game
